ProWrite is ok.  Not a whole lot of features, but it's usable for
simple things.  No thesaurus, no macros, no index, no table of
contents, etc.  It does have a spelling checker, and is WYSIWYG.  If I
wanted to produce serious documents, I'd get AmigaTeX, though it's not
WYSIWYG.

Believe me, you don't want it.  I've been through 3 releases of it, and
all of them guru early and often.  I found it to be completely unusable.
